PART 159_STATEMENTS OF POLICIES AND INTERPRETATIONS--Table of Contents

 

      Subpart D_Reporting Requirements for Risk/Benefit Information

 

Sec.  159.195  Reporting of other information.



    (a) The registrant shall submit to the Administrator information 

other than that described in Sec. Sec.  159.165 through 159.188 if the 

registrant knows, or reasonably should know, that if the information 

should prove to be correct, EPA might regard the information alone or in 

conjunction with other information about the pesticide as raising 

concerns about the continued registration of a product or about the 

appropriate terms and conditions of registration of a product. Examples 

of the types of information which must be provided if not already 

reportable under some other provision of this Part include but are not 

limited to information showing:

    (1) Previously unknown or unexpected bioaccumulation of a pesticide 

by various life forms.

    (2) Greater than anticipated drift of pesticides to non-target 

areas.

    (3) Use of a pesticide may pose any greater risk than previously 

believed or reported to the Agency.

    (4) Use of a pesticide promotes or creates secondary pest 

infestations.

    (5) Any information which might tend to invalidate a study submitted 

to the Agency to support a pesticide registration.

    (b) A registrant is not obligated under paragraph (a) of this 

section to provide information to the Administrator if the registrant is 

aware of facts which establish that otherwise reportable information is 

not correct.

    (c) The registrant shall submit to the Administrator information 

other than that described in Sec. Sec.  159.165 through 159.188 if the 

registrant has been informed by EPA that such additional information has 

the potential to raise questions about the continued registration of a 

product or about the appropriate terms and conditions of registration of 

a product.
